Exciting Steel Challenge GM Rimfire Rifle In 5 Stages & Pistol Open Master Class, ARC Match Review

Описание: Ahoy Steel Shooters,

In this latest video, we review footage from Match 2 of 2024. I cut back on shooting this year, but still enjoy getting out to test my skills. This time I returned to the Austin Rifle Club, ARC for short, for the 5 stage APSC - Austin Practical Shooting Club's 5 stage 4th Sunday Steel Challenge Match.

I competed in two divisions - Rimfire Rifle Open Division & Rimfire Pistol Open, also known as RFRO and RFPO. One of the interesting things about steel challenge is that each match last between 3-4 hours, sometimes longer depending on squad size and pace. However, the total time spent shooting is usually less than one minute on good day, and just over one minute on bad day. It takes a ton of focus to turn on your best game for the ~2 minutes you get in the box on each stage.

As mentioned, I was a bit rusty from only shooting one other match since December, but still managed to hit my goal of sub 40 seconds for 5 stages with rifle; though I did have a few hiccups.
I believe I had a total of 5 strings with misses / makeups for the entire match which was awesome.

I had even more mistakes with pistol. I usually always kick off the stage with Pistol, then shoot rifle second. This time I shot them backwards, or shot rifle first, and pistol second. The mental switch of shooting in that order left me shooting the first few strings of pistol poorly, until I got a handle on the changes I needed to make for that division.

Overall a great day of Steel Challenge and shooting with great people, which is what makes Steel Challenge such a fantastic sport.
